president lincoln called it a sign that the union would go on. the dome is capped by what is known as the statue of freedom. this is also 150 years old this year. and the remarkable thing about this is that this statue was cast by philip reid who was, when he we began the work, a slave. but while the work was ongoing, he was freed by the district of columbia emancipation proclamation of 1862 which preceded the president's emancipation proclamation by about nine months. by the time the statue of freedom was completed, the man who was casting it, philip reid was free as well. a remarkable bit of american history as we looked on today, martin luther king day and the second inauguration of president barack obama. bob schieffer, we have so many of the house leadership, the senate leadership, the republicans and the democrats in the same room, i'm sure there are a lot of people at home who think they should just lock the doors until they come out with a budget. but what do you think is going on in that room? how much comedy can there be among these peo
